Fishing in Hawaii: Weke Day
Boy was it hot yesterday! Even slathered in sunblock and with a hat I ended up a little red today. Oh well, we had a really fun day out with my mom so it was worth it.
My haul for the day were three weke (goatfish). Two were about 8 inches while the biggest one was a little over a foot long. That is the biggest weke I’ve ever caught in my life. Check it out!
To prepare the fish: scale, clean out the insides, make a couple slice marks on each side, flavor with a little salt and sliced ginger, then steam until cooked through.
This was steamed on a ti leaf (but it’s not necessary if you don’t have any). When it was done cooking all it needed was a dash of soy sauce and it was ready to eat!

If it makes you feel any better, it’s not very often that I catch something worthy of the dinner table. It was my lucky day!
